Just Like Me

I was my riding with my brother I seen a man
He had rips all through his clothes and weak like he couldn't stand
And we stopped to give him money
But he wouldn't show his hands
So I spoke asked him how this shit began
Said he a veteran went to war in Vietnam
Layed my life for Uncle Sam but dem crackers ain give a damn
Said I was unstable since then every door in my face always been slammed
Late night drinking had no ride dui they gave me 2 months in det jam
I had to plan I had to scheme
I had to cope I had to scream
Feel I could never be redeemed
My life a nightmare I can't dream
Man I shoulda chose marines
And although things are bad but they ain as bad they seem
Just got a job got me working on machines
So I mean could be worst
All my partners in da dirt
I still see em how det work
been some years I'm still hurt
But I learned after time that we all gotta go but God chose you first
So I spend all of my days on dis earth
Counting days from my birth
Is all I'm paid what I'm worth
That's the questions that I'm asking
Nobody care what really happened
So I focus on now try not to ponder on how
Life is like a boxing match shit got infinite rounds
And my ex wife she hate me ion even know why
Yeah she caught me wit her mama but at least ian lie
Kicked me out my own crib but I'm still getting by
Man she even put me in rehab but I'm still getting high

Damn my nigga that's fucked up
At least you out here hustling it's nothing you gone get yo bucks up
Out here on the corner While it's storming till the sun up
You stand here all alone
If I was you ion kno if I could ever be det strong
17 I left the house told my mama ian never coming home
I'm like you wrong decisions put me in fucked up positions
Ian listen i thought I knew it all
Account empty wit my back against the wall
Ian thinking who to call I rather starve
Pride always been my fall
In det cell i held my chin and stood tall
Been bagging bitches like sun eights since i was small
Leave det hoe swear she find new man like she Paul
Only Rolling by myself get in my bag you see I'm mad like fuck em all
If I see them it's they last ima crash let em solve
To many of they partners dead now they want resolve
Constant motion know they watching and they hate that I evolved

I was riding wit my brother I seen a soldier
On his shoulders carried boulders
Said sun shit that I might never understand till I'm older
But he told us
Please don't take this lightly

I was riding wit my brother I seen a soldier
On his shoulders carried boulders
Said sun shit that I might never understand till I'm older
But he told us
Please don't take this lightly
